The Turner apparatus is a special device that was invented by the Soviet orthopedic surgeon Georg Ivanovich Turner in 1920. This device is used to treat various diseases of the musculoskeletal system, such as arthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis, etc.
The Turner device consists of several parts that work together to achieve the best treatment result. The first part is special screws that are installed in the patient's bones and help fix them in the correct position. The second part is a special splint that is attached to the bone and helps keep it in the correct position. The third part is an electric motor that drives the tire and propellers.
The principle of operation of the Turner apparatus is that it helps to fix the bones in the correct position and prevents their further displacement. This speeds up the healing process and reduces pain and discomfort for patients.
The Turner apparatus is widely used in orthopedics and traumatology. It helps treat various diseases of the musculoskeletal system and speeds up the recovery process of patients. However, like any other treatment method, the Turner apparatus has its disadvantages and limitations. It is not suitable for all patients and may cause side effects. Therefore, before using the Turner device, you must consult a doctor and undergo all necessary examinations.
The Turner apparatus (see also figs. i, 6 and 8) is used to traction the shoulder or elbow joint in case of a clavicle fracture. In the anteroposterior direction. System: Tournay, A, B, C and D - for traction of the shoulder joint (for a description, see Fig. 6-8); Rosch system - for traction of the elbow and metacarpophalangeal joints; MakMar system - for fusion of the tibia, etc.), as well as for distraction of the tibia bones by pulling the periosteum with two planks (see Anacor).
The Turner apparatus belongs to the endosurgical technique and allows for surgical intervention without the use of anesthesia or general anesthesia. It is used to treat patients with injuries, including broken bones, and other conditions.
The "Turner" apparatus includes a set of tools and components such as rods, clamps and other devices. The operation can be performed both in a hospital and in an outpatient setting.
The advantages of the "Turner" device include the possibility of a more precise and gentle approach to damaged tissues, reducing surgery time and reducing the risk of complications. However, it should be borne in mind that there are some limitations in the use of this method, for example, problems with sterility, insufficient accessibility for certain groups of the population.
